WWE Bash In Berlin: Date, Start Time, Match Card, Where To Watch [UPDATED]

Three championship matches and two fiery feuds are on the menu for Berlin, German.

WWE.com

Bash in Berlin is a stacked card with three championship matches and two huge grudge matches. The PLE from Berlin, Germany is a trim five-match event, a format WWE has stated they will continue outside of their "big four" events.

Triple H utilized the five-match format quite well when NXT began offering premium live events, so it makes sense that he'd do the same for main roster events. With fewer matches, WWE can provide more value on their Smackdown card the night before—case in point, Nia Jax and LA Knight's title defenses on Friday's Smackdown from Germany.

Bash in Berlin also continues WWE’s push for more international premium live events. Previous 2024 events outside the U.S. have been held in Scotland, Canada, France, Australia, and Saudi Arabia.

Cody Rhodes gifted Kevin Owens a shot at his WWE Championship for having his back during the Bloodline feud. With tensions between the two WWE superstars simmering, it will be interesting to see which version of Owens we’ll get: dastardly heel, or fiery face?

On Smackdown the day before Bash in Berlin, Rhodes and Owens engaged in a heated promo that saw the American Nightmare ask The Prizefighter one simple question: "When it's over, Kevin, will we still be friends?"

Owens initially didn't respond and instead dropped the mic, whispered something into Rhodes' ear, and then walked off leaving the champion pondering his answer. What did Owens say, and will we see him turn on a friend once again?

Smackdown star Randy Orton jumped to Raw to test the mettle of new World Champion Gunther. This past Monday, while Gunther was in Germany ahead of Bash in Berlin, Orton executed an in-ring promo thanking the fans for their support while warning Gunther that he’d finally humble the braggadocious champion.

CM Punk and Drew McIntyre have been feuding all year. Punk cost McIntyre the World Championship on several occasions, and McIntyre stole and continues to have possession of Punk’s cherished bracelet. At Bash in Berlin, a strap match may see their vicious feud finally come to an end.

The Terror Twins, Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest, have been feuding with The Judgement Day, their previous faction, since being ousted at SummerSlam. We’ll see if they get retribution when they face “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan in a mixed-tag match.

Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship earlier this year at Clash at the Castle. Former champs, Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill, want those titles back. All four women will champion the women’s division moving forward, but who will walk out of Berlin with the championship straps?
